One thing we don’t talk about in grad school enough is that for me, and likely many other grad students, this is the most money I’ve ever had in my life.

A few weeks ago, I made a post stating that white women can't be intersectional feminists and that the term itself is largely self-appointed by white women seeking to set themselves apart from "other" white women. I didn't have time to explain then.

I made time:

two posts from threads first is from @camillecardonaa and says: I just found out that only 1.5% of Japan's population is Christian and I'm heartbroken. second is a reply from @orangedweller and says: Hi. Japan's homicide rate is 07% per 100K. United States homicide rate is 5.7% per 100K. Japan's unhoused population in 2024: 2,820. United States unhoused: 653,104. Japan also has one of the highest food security rates in the whole big world. Meanwhile, in the US, 18 million people are food insecure. Maybe this Sunday you can ask the Christians what their bible says about poor people and murder. Sorry bout your heart.

Choose empathy. Read.

"Theory's cool, but theory with no practice ain't s–t. You got to have both of them" Fred Hampton

A paragraph from Ta-Nehisi Coates' book The Message, which reads: "It may seem strange that people who have already attained a position of power through violence invest so much time in justifying their plunder with words. But even plunderers are human beings whose violent ambitions must contend with the guilt that gnaws at them when they meet the eyes of their victims. And so a story must be told, one that raises a wall between themselves and those they seek to throttle and rob."

Ta-Nehisi Coates wields words like sledgehammers.

Black Earth — THE BITTER SOUTHERNER In North Carolina, a Black farmer purchased the plantation where his ancestors were enslaved— and is reclaiming his family’s story, his community’s health, and the soil beneath his feet.

A must-read: Patrick Chandler Brown — named after the PCB chemicals dumped in his community — purchased the plantation where his great-grandfather was enslaved and is in the process of transforming it to serve farmers like him

Amnesty International Investigation Concludes Israel Is Committing Genocide “We will look back and say, ‘Why did we not do more earlier?” Amnesty's director tells Zeteo.

Everyone should be sharing this story about the Amnesty International report because yes many of us have long acknowledged that it’s a genocide but there are still people who need the validation of a report from an org like Amnesty to believe it’s true zeteo.com/p/amnesty-co...

Creating constellations of coexistence through connections between people in human–wildlife conflict areas Human–wildlife conflict (HWC) is a critical challenge to human development and well-being and threatens biodiversity conservation. Ideally, HWC mitigation should benefit both wildlife and communities....

We-a diverse group of conservation scholars and practitioners-by diving into case studies from our study systems, highlight the importance of local contexts and perspectives in HWC mitigation, while connecting them to global realities🦁🐘🐆🐻🐺

Publishing a paper on a topic you ❤️ is rewarding, but it's so motivating to see students excited about it🥹 My wildlife conservation course just discussed our brand new paper on 'constellations of coexistence,' & I was thrilled by their enthusiasm and attention to detail🤩 🔗🧵⬇️

So many people who are incarcerated right now deserve this kind of reasoned defense of their right to freedom, but they lack a powerful parent to intervene on their behalf.

Abolition now.
